Numerical Simulation of Heat Transfer in Shell and Tube Heat Storage Fixed Vertical Fins

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article presents a new kind of shell and tube phase change heat storage exchanger using vertical fins. And select paraffin as phase change materials, Fluent6.3 software was used to study the melting process. Some conditions of different fin height, different fin width and different fin numbers of axial direction were investigated. The results show that the higher and the wider of the fins, and the more the fin number of axial direction, the shorter is the melting time, the better is the effect of heat transfer
